Here's our Manchester United vs Sheffield Utd Prediction analysis: Finishing right behind table-toppers Norwich City last season in the Championship, Sheffield United gained automatic qualification to the Premier League. Largely inexperienced with top-flight football, many expected the Blades to struggle this season. However, Chris Wilder’s charges have defied pre-season expectations, playing some piece of scintillating football to shut out their critics. In fact, with only two points separating them from the Europa League places, the Blades are still within continental football reckoning.

Sitting seventh on the log, Sheffield United have garnered a staggering 44 points from 30 games. They have fared well against some of the league’s elite clubs, causing a number of upsets already this season. Their season could not have played out any better!

Holding a two-point lead over the Blades, Manchester United cannot afford any slip-ups in this fixture to avoid being leapfrogged by this opposition. With both teams in dire need of points, we are perfectly set-up for a thrilling showdown at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening. Expect a cracker of a game between these sides come kick-off.

Manchester United vs Sheffield United Team News

Having narrowly missed out on Champions League football last season, Manchester United cannot afford a repeat of their woes this time around. They need to improve performance levels over the coming weeks to stand any chances of breaching top-four.

Looking to close-in on fourth-placed Chelsea, Manchester United made a trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to take on the Lilywhites with every intent of securing the win. Beginning the game on the front foot, the Red Devils looked the more dangerous side early on.

However, against the run of play, Bergwijn managed to glide through the United defense in the 27^th minute to fire his side ahead. The Red Devils responded brilliantly through a well-taken Bruno Fernandes’ goal to salvage a much-needed point.

Still harboring hopes of featuring in Europe next season, Sheffield United squared-off against bottom-half outfit Newcastle United on the last match-day, looking to clinch maximum points. Totally outclassed by the Magpies, Wilder’s men never really got going all through the game.

Managing to keep scores level at the break, the floodgates were opened in the second-half. Newcastle enjoyed a goal fest with Saint-Maximin, Ritchie and Joelinton getting on the scoresheet to take Sheffield United to the cleaners. 3-0 it ended in Tyneside at full-time.

For this fixture, Manchester United have to be considered favorites for the win. They have been one of the best sides in the league so far and are sporting an impressive home record. The Red Devils have remained unbeaten in each of their last 12 games, losing just two home games since September.

Meanwhile, the Blades are newcomers to the Premier League and are largely inexperienced with top-flight football. At this venue, they have been condemned to a 100% losing streak against Manchester United for over 28 years. This highlights the Red Devils’ dominance over this opposition on this ground.

Manchester United vs Sheffield Utd Predictions

With Chelsea looking to cement fourth-spot, Manchester United cannot let their guards down as they look to gain ground on the Blues. With Pogba and Fernandes ticking in the center of the park, you get the feeling that the Red Devils have found their perfect midfield partnership.

With these two hitting top gear, Manchester United will likely be unstoppable in this fixture. That said, Sheffield United are not a side to be treated with a wave of the hand. They held United to a thrilling 3-3 draw in the reverse fixture at Bramall Lane.

However, this is Old Trafford – Manchester United’s territory. They will be going all out for a win here. As such, expect a comfortable home win with Solskjaer’s men registering two or more goals before full-time. Also, with De Gea in terrible form, United are likely to concede here.
